This spider has taken up residence in my mom's flower patch, so I decided to take a couple pictures of her. I used my Fuji S5000 set at 6 megapixels, with an old Sakar super wide semi-fisheye lens that I got off ebay on the front of it.

If you play with your white balance a bit, you will end up with a masterpiece!

I need to take this wide-angle lens I have to our local camera shop and see if there is any way they could disassemble it and clean the glass lens elements. There is a thin white-looking film on most of one side of one of the elements. If you're taking a picture in fairly bright light or really close up, it's pretty much not an issue, as you can't really see it, but if you are back a little bit from whatever it is that you're taking a photo of, you can see it in your photo. I'm thinking this throws the white balance of the camera off a little, though, it would almost have to. Also, on the one picture that is taken from the bottom side of the spider, I am thinking you can see this film a little, although it's kind of hard to tell as the web is between the spider and the lens, too.
I actually took these two photos in auto mode, so I couldn't have messed with the white balance if I had wanted to. I might give the RAW setting a try next weekend if the spider is still there, just to see how much difference I could make tweaking stuff after the fact. I've never tried using RAW images up to this point, just JPEG. |
